CERTIFIED THREADHEAD

0:00should we turn off the ac we're not in turning off ac season how about music oh yeah can we there's no music oh wow what do i hear yeah oh you turned it off yeah okay okay thanks hannah i was like i'm hearing music and then i took off my headphones and the music was gone i know it was trippy that was really crazy fucking messed me up yeah i don't think the ac is really and i don't think i think i can cancel it out and post and if not i don't know it's not worth us sweating yeah i mean i it's hot I forgot to put deodorant on this morning, so I already kind of stink. Okay. I can't be sweating my ass off recording a podcast.

0:41I did have that thought today while I was getting dressed. I was like, A, I'm going to be recorded today, and B, we're going to be sweating because we're going to be in a room without AC for a little bit. Yeah. I mean - Let's see if we can do it. We're going to let it roll, and if you hear a hum in the background, just know that the boys are sweating. Yeah. It's fucking 90 degrees today. I know. There's no central AC in this building. No. We're in an old-ass factory. That's right. An old-ass pencil factory. Yeah, they made fucking pencils before the internet put the pencils out of business. When's the last time you used a pencil?

1:14Fuck. I don't know. No clue. All my homies hate pencils. We use pens. I don't make mistakes. I don't erase.

1:29Three, two, one. Kevin, what's up, buddy? What's up? You're back. Yep. Fresher than ever. Yep. Fresher than ever. Yeah. Thank God. You're fresher than you were yesterday. We can start there. It's a good thing we didn't pod yesterday. Kevin came back after how many days in the wilderness? I don't know. Like 10? 10. I don't know. Let's call it 10, I guess. 10 days off the grid. Yeah. Well, not really. I mean, I worked Thursday on the plane. I worked Friday morning in Seattle. Okay. Okay. And then I laid it down. extended time in the wilderness off the grid kevin came back and uh i would say he had a case of the mondays oh yeah i mean it was super sunday scaries yeah um laying awake tossing and turning could not fall asleep yeah to uh just not wanting to get out of bed on monday yeah just had the biggest bags under my eyes yeah you looked a little rough yeah i mean i walked i strolled in here at like 10 25 maybe um you look much fresher today yeah i got some sleep last night that's good um you know yeah shout out to kevin he got some sleep he's back he's still trying still trying to shake myself that west coast schedule i will say kevin will the rest of the world came back to work last wednesday after daly 4th i think we experienced a little bit of what you experienced yesterday which was like wednesday was the day i just kind of looked around and everyone was just like you know half half zombie mode yeah kind of hung over yeah just not not ready to be thinking yeah but uh kevin we got a pod and we got to hear about it so talk to us what was the wilderness like what's it like to get off of your phone and be in nature i mean it was pretty sick i i'm trying i think i'd reset my dopamine or whatever like the receptors or whatever i'm not like a neurologist or neuroscientist but my brain was definitely working a little bit better last week okay i was is bogged down in my phone, which is a good thing.

3:27I think I need to just not look at my phone that much. Realization, it's not good for us. Wow. What? When I got back on the grid this weekend, and I started doing my typical scroll in the comments section - Yeah, put it right back in your veins. Yeah. Looking at the threads. Oh, yeah. We got to talk about threads. Not the Twitter threads, not the actual threads. Oh, what? I was just like, fuck, this is so negative. This is like wrecking my brain. Yeah. And I had that thought when I was kind of taking a little break and how my brain is probably being wrecked constantly by just intaking all of this dumb bullshit all the time.

4:06Yeah. Hundreds of memes. Now we're back. Yeah, we're back. We're back and I'm definitely intaking it. For people that are as online as Kevin and I are, I think it's critical that you unplug from the wall I think I would like to be less online I think that's what I took away we'll check back in in about a month I'm going to be less online, I can't I'm checking out you're checking out? I'm not checking out you need to be more offline I need to do stuff in real life and I do, I do stuff in real life I need to do more in real life I can corroborate, Kevin does stuff in real life I do not Kevin, because you were off the grid, I was on the grid extra to give you a report of what you missed while you're off the grid in the wilderness for however many days.

4:55I mean, I was only in the wilderness for like five days. But you missed a lot of shit. I did. I wasn't looking at my phone. Yeah. So, Kevin, I'm just going to give you a quick little rundown of the things that you missed while you were touching grass. You ready? My guy James Dolan is back. Oh, yeah. Dude, he is making history because he created the fucking sphere. That's him? That is him. I thought he was a cheap bastard. No, he is a billionaire. His father actually was the real billionaire. You're never going to believe it. James stole a Nepo baby. But he is building or has built this sphere in Vegas.

5:31I've actually been tracking this for quite some time. Yeah. I'm not late like everyone else is. I've been a sphere head. watching this thing get built and uh it's officially on because the outside is a giant globe of led screens that they can project graphics onto and everyone's freaking out about it yeah think about the brand moments dude did you see the nba basketball i did yeah the nba basketball for summer league was just you know think about the things that can be put on a on a circle on a globe spherical spherical things um they've done like fireworks they did an eyeball this is this This is blowing people's fucking minds on the internet.

6:11And the thing that I think is very funny is everyone's talking about the outside. Wait till they see the fucking inside. Is the inside cool? The inside is insane. It's basically a concert venue just made for a venue made for concerts. Jeez. Because every concert, like Taylor Swift or every performer is basically performing at a basketball or football stadium designed for sports. This is a 18 ,000-foot arena or 18 ,000-people arena that's only made for basically viewing music, listening to music. It's got state-of-the-art audio, video, projectors, 3D. It's going to be fucking crazy. How many seats is it?

6:5018 ,000. 18 ,000? Did you say that? Yeah. I said square foot, so I probably fucked it up. But U2 is opening because, of course, you got to get U2 to kick off anything. But I think it's going to be sick. What is it? Madison Square Garden 2? It's Madison Square Garden Vegas Sphere. I don't know what the name is. I think it's just called The Sphere. The Sphere? I mean, that's pretty sick. But it's a Madison Square Garden property. It's part of the brand. I wonder how they trademarked The Sphere. I don't know. They probably didn't. If you're that rich, you probably don't need to. I guess you probably don't.

7:21Laws don't really apply to billionaires. You're James Dillon. Yeah, no, this is very exciting. It's a shame that Kanye is dead because I think he would... Fuck, this was designed for someone that puts on great shows like that. I would love to see formerly an old Kanye West in this. But we'll see what happens. It's fucking sick. Well, there's a lot of great other performers. Yeah, no, I know. There's probably... Travis Scott. I'm not... Yeah, Travis Scott's back. Utopia is here. I've never been a Travis Scott guy like that. Do you care? I don't care. Wait, what is this? Like, he has a new album, and apparently enough time has passed since people died at his concert that people are welcoming him back.

8:00Oh, I didn't even know that. Yeah, no. See, this is what I'm saying. That's the thing I missed. Britney Spears got slapped by Victor Wameyama. Do you know who he is? Yeah, I know Victor Wameyama. He's a very tall basketball player. Britney Spears somehow came running up to him and his security guard backhander in the face. Not cool. Very bizarre. Yeah, weird situation there. Yeah. Joey Chestnut saved America, Kevin. I saw. I saw this. That was the one thing I was kind of sad that I was not in New York for. Okay. The first thing in a long time that I'm like, damn, I kind of wish I was back in New York.

8:33You go every year. Yeah, I've been going every year and not this year. And I don't know. It probably would have been a sick year to witness it. I don't know. I went to Coney Island two days before the fourth, so the second. And I was caught in some rain out there and not a ton of covering. and I don't know, being caught in two hours worth of rain to wait for the goat to eat some dogs was, I don't know. I don't know if that would have been great fun time, but I'm sure you would have stuck it out. I think it's just an exercise in mental fortitude and whether if Joey Chestnut can sit there for two hours and come back out to eat a bunch of soggy hot dogs, which were presumably left out in the rain, that's the photo I saw.

9:20Really? I don't know if those are the actual hot dogs. No, they would have been falling apart. They had some hot dog trays left in the rain. Really? Yeah. I don't think anybody ate them, but those were probably slow dogs. Yeah. I mean, they tried to cancel the event, and then Joey Chestnut said no, which, what a great American. Last year, protesters tried to cancel the event, and he fucking bodyspanned that motherfucker. Remember you snapped that dude's neck? Yeah, I was front row. I saw that. I was 20 feet away from that. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, dude. When he came out, his face, he had this crazy jaw face.

9:56I assume that's something he has to work on to get his jaw ready to eat that many dogs. Have you ever seen those jaw trainers? Yeah. Yeah. He's hitting those for sure. Dude, his face looked fucked. Obviously, what he does is mostly jaw, right? Because I think to be able to chew that - That's a full body thing, Alex. It's jaw. It's legs. He's got to get the momentum, inertia. He jumps. He jumps, gets shit down. He's got the neck muscles working. It's a full body. He's got the stomach and the diaphragm. He's an athlete. Yeah, he's a fucking athlete. He's the GOAT. I did notice that a bunch of the other competitors, the ones especially that are sort of starting to creep up to Joey's level, they're pretty buff.

10:35They're pretty ripped. None of them are like Fatlands Booger or whatever his name is. Badlands. Badlands. Badlands Booger. Don't ever disrespect that name. He's the best MC ever. He raps. He chugs. did you see this lemonade i saw this lemonade chuck dude that is sickening he chugged the grimace shake did he really he chugs pretty much every new beverage that comes out happy birthday grimace yeah um yeah no i i think these you know the new guys on the scene they're they're they're ripped and they're they're athletes and i mean this only confirms that joey chestnut they've always athletes they've always been ripped kaboosha was like he was ripped six pack yeah for sure um you gotta be you gotta be ripped to be an athlete yeah we're gonna talk about hot dogs in a second so i just want to tell you there's more stuff oh michael rubin uh had his annual white party you do i saw that every single person in a celebrity under yeah you know joe burrow was there joe burrow was there had some a nice mesh fit on yeah yeah so the nike socks and the cartiers yeah he looked great yeah yeah no i'd like to go to that party that party looks sick i was actually looking at some of the videos trying to get like a a sort of a a sense of the landscape because this house like it's it's it's open on all sides and then there's like a there's a dinner part and there's a concert and then there's like this overhang over to a beach like i'm trying to you know put this house together in my head um but party looks sick um nba announced an in season tournament oh nobody cares shut up i like it you like this is gonna be cool yeah i mean of course like maybe the nicks will win a championship dude of course season championship uh the uh in season cup oh yeah do you see the the trophy it looked pretty sad it wasn't like a cool trophy it's not a good idea i think it is a good idea why i think december basketball doesn't matter anyway so then at least make some sort of tournament they're paying the winners like five hundred thousand dollars a piece on the team like that's not even that much to an nba player i did it's a lot of contracts are getting i yeah the contracts aren't seen but like i don't know i think this is gonna work and i agree it doesn't mean anything but fuck it why not like put some sort of in sort in tournament season and see what the fuck happens yeah i can't wait to see that banner hanging at msg oh yeah oh the side talks when you guys win the in-season tournament are gonna be fucking crazy bing bong cup championships new york knicks i i think it's a little too complicated did you watch the video of richard jefferson introducing the rules they were like well there's these rounds and then there's like sort of cup like you know sort of groupings and i is it just a little too complicated yeah they should just make it like a march madness style just put every team on a fucking bracket and like let them what you know one and done yeah they're probably just trying in two order to be soccer.

13:11I think that's what they're trying to do. They've been talking about doing this for a long time. Yeah. So fuck it. Do it. See what happens. Yeah, it's probably going to suck. But I'm a hater. Yeah, I know. I'm in hater mode again. Damn. I know. You are a hater. It took me 15 minutes. I know you're not a hater of Eli De La Cruz. Oh, no, I'm a lover of him. Dude, he fucking stole all the bases, man. Yeah, I saw him. That was sick. Legendary. Yeah, I was talking to my dad about it, and he's like, you know, I'm surprised he didn't get he didn't get hit by a pitch the next at bat because you don't really show up in a moment like that.

13:40And I was like, what are you talking about? Yeah. Just like an old head baseball. Yeah. So classic baseball. You don't do that in baseball. It's disrespectful. Disrespectful for the game. That dude's the fastest man on the diamond. Don't turn your back. Yeah. Don't turn your back on Ellie. Don't do that. If you don't want him to steal the base, don't give him the base. Dude, you got to watch that guy back to the base. I mean, I don't want to spoil my... Yeah. You're enthusiastic. I feel like every time I have some skin in the game, it gets spoiled by speaking about the skin too soon. But I will say that right after his debut, I threw some skin in the game.

14:14And it's looking very nice. Kevin's gambling corner is back? Is that what you're trying to say? Yeah, the plus numbers were crazy. Back on your bullshit. For what, rookie of the year? I can't spoil it. I'm not going to spoil it. But yeah, obviously excited about that. after the All-Star game, their schedule's a little tough. They gotta go to the West Coast and play the Dodgers and some other people. We'll see. Listen, I'm pulling for you. The Mets are a little bit better. They've been making a little bit of a move. Yeah, they're coming back. So I'm not ready to jump fully on the Reds bad winger, but trust me, if the Mets are out, I will jump there.

14:48The longest rollout in the history of movies, Barbie, is still going and still not even out yet. You see premieres and this fucking Airbnb house and just like a million different barbie yeah i mean i'm i'm gonna probably go see it yeah it looks what's it come out this weekend or something i think it comes out in net not this weekend next weekend yeah i mean team barbie or team oppenheimer i'm team barbie yeah oppenheimer seems yeah depressing i like that people are gonna go see both you know that's kind of the double feature yeah i don't know get a life yeah get a goddamn life um what i'm only gonna see oppenheimer if it's in the you know imax 35 millimeter format i don't even know what millimeter but like yeah people are really nerding out i guess that's kind of cool so yeah maybe i'm hating from outside of the club and i can't even get in yeah that's true maybe it'll be a good experience maybe i'll go see it i'm certainly gonna go see barbie yeah that's definitely gonna go see this movie's gonna be uh huge i don't i mean i don't know if it could ever live up to the hype but it looks particularly good kevin what else did you miss you miss oh sleepy joe biden did cocaine um that's sick that's sick yeah um fallout boy did a cover of we didn't start the fire with events from 1989 to 2023 okay uh i i i didn't see that you shouldn't listen to it i i listened to it so you don't have to it is arguably one of the worst three minutes of my life that's unfortunate because i kind of liked their old their new album it sounded like a old fallout boy you like you listen to the new fallout boy i listened to a couple songs i was like damn this makes me feel like i'm in seventh great again okay listening to whatever that their big album hold on put on my list kevin is an emo boy i didn't know i mean i i had a big moment with um fuck blink 182 no no no i mean yeah obviously big blink 182 but that that album they released in like 07 with the sheep on it it had all the memories or yeah yeah all those bangers like that was a those top album the one that has It has Jay-Z in the intro.

16:46Does it? I think so. I don't know. I didn't know that. Thanks for the memories? I don't know. Yeah, the same album. Is that the album? Damn, Jay-Z was really hitting the emo scene in the 2000s. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The album is called Infinity on High. Yeah, I mean, that album is a great album. It's a banger. I have listened to it recently to be like, you know, just, you know, on a nostalgia tip. I might have to. Dude, it still goes. Yeah, I just remember. do not listen to the to the we didn't start the fire billy joy here's the main problem they did uh or the problem with the cover it's like a decent idea right you're like okay this was a super famous song just listing events they did it out of order what so it's like the original song goes through time and their version just jumps around from like the 90s to 2022 so it's like covid and then like like he-man or some shit you know what i mean it just like makes no sense how they're jumping around from events and things.

17:42And they just name them. I mean, usually when you're discussing time, you go chronological order. That's what I think they should have done. Or events in time. Events in time. Oh, my boy Jonah Hill. He went to too much therapy. I think that's what the internet can all agree. I don't know if he went to too much therapy or not enough, or maybe he's got some sort of underlying God complex. They're definitely something. Yeah, it's a tough week for Jonah. I will say as a Jonah Hill fan, Superbad, one of my favorite movies of all time, dressed up like Jonah in one of my Halloween costumes back in the day.

18:21The story of the Halloween was I dressed up like Jonah Hill from Superbad. Did you have the stain? And then I had the stain on the pants, did the whole thing. And then the next day on the street in Manhattan got recognized, or someone came up to me and asked me if I was Jonah Hill, out of the costume. Wow. Which was a really startling moment in my life. Actually was probably my heaviest. But this isn't about me. This is about Jonah. And yeah, some texts. And yeah, yeah. Just not great, Kevin. Tough situation. Just something, you know, just, you know, for me, Kevin, I'm going to need you to work on the weekends.

18:54I'm just setting some boundaries here. Yeah. That's what I learned from it. If I want people to do things, I need to just set boundaries. Yeah. That's what I learned, Kevin. Okay, Mr. Therapy. Okay. What else did we get? I watched Superbad on the plane. Oh, really? I got through like half of it. But they cut out the best scene in the entire movie. Which is? When he's talking about all the penises he drew. Oh, really? Yeah. They cut it out. Too hot for TV on the plane? I guess so, yeah. It was bullshit. I was pissed. Yeah. Then, oh, sorry. There's two more things we got to talk about. Big things.

19:27The Idol is done. Yes. I watched it last night. Okay. Okay. And? I don't know. Just when you thought maybe this series is redeemable and maybe they're doing the right thing here. They resurrect Tedris at the end. Come on. Yeah. I liked the episode. I'm going to go on the record and say that I liked it. I did not like the ending of it where she showed up at a weekend concert. That felt weird. Yeah. That was very bizarre. You know what's worse than the Idol series? The fucking interviews afterwards. Oh, where they talk about the sort of genius. I called this out last year when I was listening to Sam Levinston talk about fucking Euphoria.

20:09I said, this guy's a fucking douchebag. And that take was correct because he is a fucking douchebag. There's something about him talking about the show that does rub a lot of people the wrong way. Oh, we only had two opportunities to get these shots. One on the first night and one on the second night. It's like, dude, A, you're a fucking film director. Getting shots should not be that hard. And B, I'm sure you could have found a way to run that back. Yeah. I mean, that wasn't the problem with the show, Sam. Let's get back to the show. The show, I think I like when the people involved with the show talk about the show afterwards.

20:48I do find that to be generally educational and entertaining at times, especially on like Succession or shows that are particularly good. But there's something about the Euphoria ones with Sam and then now the Idol ones that are particularly queasy. Yeah. I mean, I liked when Lily Rose Depp was talking. Yeah. She was great on the show. Yeah, she was great. It's hilarious with like – it's female empowerment through the male lens. I was just kind of like, shut up. It was a tough high wire act that they were trying to thread and they just didn't do it. Yeah, they dropped the ball. So many loose ends.

21:26speaking of uh forest uh shout out to forest from the studio sent me a tweet that had photos from the original season that they scrapped and this is what you called for i think a couple weeks ago said just like someone's gotta go and just release i need one of the photos but the photos were like pictures from her like teen disney era phase so it's like sort of like her jocelyn in sort of that like pre sort of sexualized fame sort of pop star phase which even from the photos of it, you're like, oh, there's backstory to her character, which they never did over the course of any episodes. They never did that.

22:04They just failed to provide any context about any of the characters. That's what I'm saying. There was zero context provided for any character. And you're supposed to be interested or care about them at all. The bear, from a contrast perspective, everything is about building up these characters, which is what makes good television. I just, yeah, what what is going on it's just like the first hbo show i think ever because they do such a good job at like doing the anti-hero shit and like making you really like yeah they kind of root kind of root for like the bad guy or at least like yeah famously tony soprano you see through his eyes see through their eyes or like you at least gain some sort of understanding or like yeah you know there's a reason why they are who they are emotional connection to like the yeah and they just didn't do that at all no nothing so it just made him a hateable person and her not even that much of a likable person yeah because you didn't understand like yeah just just really tough storytelling oh my god so it was a new hairbrush that spoiler yeah that's that part was truly truly terrible um i'm gonna say something and uh uh i mean it i hope it comes back yeah i hope it comes back the reports that it wasn't coming back hbo debunked they said that those were false reports that the show is not coming back they hadn't made a decision yeah i'm sure they spun up some nice media media bullshit to be like this isn't coming back so it gets people like us talking about it oh it's not coming back i don't know the show was a cycle i gotta imagine the ratings are high like i gotta imagine people watch that whether they thought it was good or not yeah I don't know if I could do a second season of that unless it was like maybe, well, no, I don't know.

23:45We'll see. We'll see. Might need to hate watch it again. And then Kevin, the big, big story that you missed while you were gone is Threads. Have you heard of Threads? Yeah, I have heard of Threads. Well, Threads is the new Twitter. It is from a parent company you may have heard of. They're called Meta. Yeah. Also known as Facebook, also known as Instagram and WhatsApp. and essentially the platform works and functions pretty much exactly like Twitter. The only difference is that it connects directly to your Instagram page and you basically now can hear the thoughts and opinions of those people whose photos you liked on Instagram.

24:27Great. And Twitter's been having a lot of issues. We've been talking about that for over the past year. Elon Musk came in. I think they made some good updates to the platform in terms of the algorithm and sort of the two feeds. I do appreciate that. But I'm getting a lot of pretty dark, weird content on my feed. And I think a lot of people are reporting about that, like crazy clips and things where people get injured and stuff that like I'm not following. Yeah. But things that are being fed to me that are particularly dark. Twitter's always been a bit of a dark place. and then he set up a rate limit at some point like two weekends ago or last weekend it was actually i think it was july 4th weekend the sort of story came out that he was gonna like restrict and limit the amount of tweets that you can view without a like a paid without a blue check blue check and i guess zuckerberg's probably been working on threads i think we talked about this also that he had been working on a twitter competitor blue sky was an app that was also a Twitter competitor from Jack Dorsey, who was the original creator of Twitter.

25:33So people have been kind of like circling around Twitter, looking at it being like this platform, people hate Elon Musk that much. There's blood in the water. There's blood in the water. They want an alternative. And what does Zuckerberg love more than stealing other people's ideas and making them his own? So the biggest shark of them all, Mark, is here. Zuck, gonna Zuck, baby. And that's exactly what he did. Yeah. So just a quick summary is the public opinion right now. Elon Musk, bad billionaire. Yep. Mark Zuckerberg, good billionaire. That's right. Who definitely did not have to testify before the Supreme Court.

26:14Just a year ago. Yeah, just a year ago about election fraud or meddling and all that bullshit. Yeah. Yeah, definitely didn't do that. He's definitely on our side. He's definitely the person - Looking out for the American public or the global public. Yeah, for sure. With the election coming up, I think it's good that we give Mark Zuckerberg a little more power. Actually, he can control all of the social networks. That way that any opinion that's not in line with Zuckerberg's ideologies or vision for the future - Yeah, right to the bottom. Yeah, get that out of here. Get it out of the algorithm.

26:44Zuckerberg should control all the main platforms is what we're hearing. Yeah. Yeah. Just give him Twitter, honestly. Yeah, give him. He now has Twitter. I also think it's particularly funny that, yeah, Zuckerberg, who was, yeah, enemy number one is now the savior of public discourse. Yeah, because Elon Musk bad. Yeah. Elon Musk is a bigger enemy. Yeah. An enemy of an enemy is a friend, right? I guess so. So we've talked about how they, this has been knowing Elon Musk that he was even doing this and it started this sort of global war between the two. There's the threat of the fight, the Zuckerberg versus Zuck sort of fight that we covered.

27:29And now Elon Musk is kind of doing more stuff. He's suing Zuckerberg, I think, because of this. He said competition is fine, cheating is not, which, I don't know, that sounds like loser talk to me. Yeah, sounds like a guy who doesn't like competition. He also said that Zuck is a cuck, which, you know, that just rhymes. I mean, that's just kind of funny. I don't know. And finally, he stooped down to the lowest of low. He said he proposed a literal dick measuring contest. I would be much more interested to see the dick measuring contest than I would be a fight. Yeah, I think that's much better television.

28:04Maybe we get that on OnlyFans or Pornhub or something. Instead of Dana White, maybe we get those people involved. I don't know. I would just prefer to see that rather than them fight. And maybe after that, they could fight. After they get the inches sorted out, maybe we get a nice fight out of it. Because I'm sure one of them would be charged up. I don't know. Who would know? Who would win? Who's to say? Yeah. I don't know. Nor do I care. Personally, I'd rather see the fight. I've got Musk by at least an inch and a half.

28:38wow you got stuck in the fight but musk in the in the measuring contest yeah i mean i think i think musk certainly has maybe a little bit i think he cares a lot more about that so he's probably taken measures um to enhance and uh yeah augment sure his member so yeah yeah and where mark maybe doesn't care as much because you know he's yeah you know what's a married man you know what's that cares about though fighting the numbers oh the numbers and uh the numbers are looking good for zuck they reached 100 million uh users on threads i believe yesterday which was you know five days after the launch um there are a lot of people have been talking how long it's taken uh other platforms to get to 10 million users that was kind of the big stat that was being thrown around took facebook like a couple years took twitter a couple years took instagram like a year took like chat tpt like 40 days and then it took uh thread seven hours so they made it very easy to sign up all you needed to do is basically just like click one button and import all your shit from instagram which i really appreciate it and now we're just a number kevin what number are you i think i'm 34 million i think i'm like 485 000 and like 501 i believe damn that's pretty specific thank you i know i'm gonna get tattooed on my back i'm super excited Yeah, you should.

30:00It doesn't feel like The Hunger Games or like, what's the other show on Netflix where they fight to the death? I don't know. I don't know either. Squid Games. Oh, Squid Games. Yeah. It feels a little Squid Games. This is like total Squid Games Black Mirror shit. Yeah, yeah. Oh, dude. Life is like Black Mirror. Yeah. I mean, this is... This is kind of like Black Mirror, dude. Fuck yeah. Watched three more episodes. They've been good. I think people were saying that they weren't good, and I think they lowered the expectations for me. I watched a good one the other day. Oh, nice. Did they have two billionaires fighting?

30:33They didn't. Two bad billionaires fighting for control of everyone's opinions. Did they measure their penises and then fight? They should. Maybe they need to do that in the weigh-in, maybe. Let's just wrap it all clean. Oh, wow. A clean event, you know? Yeah. We know everything about them. They weigh in, get measured. Yeah. So then we know. Maybe we need a third event, like a triathlon of being fucking dumb idiot billionaires. Kevin, I will not take this Zuck slander anymore. I'm going to look right to camera and say, hey, Mark. Hey, how's it going? It's user 483501. I love Threads. Thank you so much for making this platform that is lighter and more fun and more lively than Twitter.

31:18and thank you really for making it connected to my most popular platform, which is Instagram. And so that I now have more followers on threads than I had on Twitter, which I had started 14 years ago. So thank you to Zuck. You are my king here. Thank you. I appreciate it. Wow. And I also, TikTok wasn't really working for me. I'm going to be honest. TikTok was, I was struggling out here. Yeah, I mean, I - I'm not a video content. I took the bait with Reels. in order to not be addicted to TikTok, I just got myself addicted to Reels, which I'm working on, and I'm trying not to be addicted to Reels.
